So I started to see some brown crap grow near the front of the tank on the glass. Not sure what it is or how to take care of it.
Also 3 weeks ago I added my yellow tang and 2 larger snails, and saw the purple coralline algae that had grown so well in the first few weeks go away (only in some parts) and turn white like chalk. Also within 2 days, these 2 shrimp shells turned white. Other shrimp and my crabs shells were fine, and the fish were unaffected.
The algae grows well on other parts of the rock and if u see my power head on the picture, after 2 weeks the growth exploded on this thing, but im going to clean it.
My water perameters did not change and remain at the healthy levels. ph 8.1 and 80 degrees. I do about 10% water changes every week with RO water, and starting to do them every 2 weeks now.
I think im going to have to get a protein skimmer too and ordered one online the other day. I know it will only make the water cleaner.
Any suggestions? Thanks. 4 pics attached
